Not having managed in the PL before is absolutely no guide to future success. Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Not having managed in the PL before is absolutely no guide to future success. Since when has pointing out a fact been a vacuous comment? You quote managers with previous significant European football pedigree going to top four clubs with big cheque books. This is little 'ol Palace who have always appointed managers who have had some success with other little 'ol PL clubs. In two minds about this appointment but fascinated to see the results.

Nothing to do with race, but he reminds me of a big boy. Have absolutely no idea why we chose him. I, your glass, Will modestly discover to yourself That of yourself which yet you know not of.

No guide to future success but we have at times put in a very experienced manager such as Allardyce or Pulis to avoid relegation and remove the uncertainty. Vieira is untried and just a gamble.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'That Viera Touch' by becky It has brought some interest for us, and even neutrals. We seem to have signed decent players. I'm not expecting the Earth but think we can stay up and improve next season. It's at least going to be an intriguing season, hopefully entertaining. Red and Blue Army!

Palace Old Geezer Midhurst 26 Jul 21 7.25pm
This post has been merged from a topic called 'That Viera Touch' by becky PV would not have been my first choice, but hell, what do I know? Having had chance to get used to the idea I think he'll do a good job for us. I'm not sensing any disgruntlement coming from the players during these early days and I agree with other folk saying that his footballing reputation is working in his (and our) favour. Good signings so far and others in the pipeline seem to indicate general support for his style and methods. Should be a lively and entertaining season with a very different approach than we've been accustomed during the last few years. We'll certainly be better to watch than a Steve Cooper team! Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Palace Old Geezer Midhurst 02 Aug 21 4.15pm
I'm definately on board with PV. This article that Willo put up says a lot about the man employed to take us forward. It's clear from the way we've played in our friendlies (although I admit I've only seen the highlights!) so far and the positive comments made by various members of the team that his approach, leadership style and training methods are being well received. Steve Parish was very smart to bring him in and, although this coming season probably won't see us in the top ten we should expect to see better football and get better results than we have in the recent past. Eager for the season to start. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Originally posted by Willo You are most welcome. Time will tell. I suspect there will be a few bumps in the road along the way and perhaps we will get better as the season progresses. That is also my take. I am guessing it will not start well and we may not see any dividend until perhaps the New Year when the team has better gelled and (hopefully) Eze and Olise return to full match fit. Flirting with bottom 3 and then climbing steadily to good mid-table. He now has a decent coaching team, some really good pros, a few excellent acquisitions and perhaps 2 or 3 young talents in Banks, Olimabu and Rak-Sakhi to utilise. The only certainty is that you will predict defeat for every game but then lavish praise where we do well.

ASCPFC Pro-Cathedral/caravan park 02 Aug 21 6.13pm
In our first matches there are obvious games to target - such as Brentford and then perhaps Brighton, any other points would be a bonus but we may see the odd draw or upset. Hopefully, we will win the games we should win. Red and Blue Army!

You’ve been predicting that we’ll be relegated every season since we returned to the Prem - so that’s 8 years and your record is 0% - so entering our 9th season what’s your prediction for this season? Personally I think it will take time for the new players to settle in - but IMO we’ve already got a much better squad than we had this time last year..!! I’m really looking forward to this season - PV is a breath of fresh air and clearly the board are backing him. For me this season is all about building and getting the team to gel - matching last seasons finishing position should be the aim - but will be a much better watch than some of the turgid performances we had to endure last season. Then kick on from there..!! Still think we’ll see 2 or 3 new arrivals yet. Come on Viera and COYP..!!
